NEW * USA - N.Y.'s ANTI-TRUCK TRAFFIC TESTS
Assemblyman Joseph R. Lentol's Dream to Stop Illegal Truck Traffic Soon to be a Reality
New York,NY,USA -Cooper Park Neighborhood Association, by Assemblyman Joseph R. Lentol -8 March 2008: -- At a recent meeting at the Traffic Management Center for the New York Department of Transportation Assemblyman Lentol learned the results of the first phase of testing for a program that he developed to fight truck traffic... The program includes two new kinds of technology. The first is a special camera which can identify and count the numbers of trucks that pass by on a designated street. Once problem areas have been identified, the second piece of technology can be installed. This piece is called a weight in motion sensor and is very similar to a red light camera. It involves a weight sensor embedded in the ground which would alert a camera every time a truck illegally uses the road. A photograph would be taken of the license plate and a summons sent to the truck driver... The first phase of the pilot is the cameras used to count trucks and was completed recently. These cameras can be used to identify problem areas where more enforcement is needed and where potentially the weight in motion sensor would later be installed... The weight in motion part of the pilot program will be running throughout the summer. If that is successful, the Department of Transportation will be looking at expanding the program throughout the city...
